Gosnells Hawks welcomes you to the 2020/2021 baseball season. We are looking forward to a very successful and enjoyable year ahead. Based out of Tom Batemen Reserve Thornlie, affectionately known as the “Hawks Nest”, we run a solid league ranging from our junior squads of 7-18-year-olds up to our State League 1, SL2, SL3, C & F Grades. Gosnells Hawks pride ourselves on our club culture. With our junior squads through to our senior sides, we encourage all ages to participate and enjoy the game of baseball. We run a variety of social events throughout our season that not only serve as fundraisers for the club, but also as a great way to build relationships and networks for our members. This season we will have a new State League Coach with an announcement imminent. Sponsorship and volunteers are essential to our club's success, and we would like to acknowledge and thank our past seasons' corporate sponsors and the tireless efforts of our volunteers. We are always on the lookout for sponsors, so if you or anyone in your networks would like to offer a sponsorship, large or small, of our club, please contact us via our website HERE. In addition, we have a variety of volunteer roles available within the club, for both game days and in-between. If you love the game of baseball and would like to support us off the field, please get in touch. Our 2020/2021 season will begin on the 18th of October 2020 for the seniors and 17th of October 2020 for the juniors TBC. Gosnells Hawks Baseball Club registrations are now open.

Cost: Free Where: Perth Modern School – cnr Subiaco Rd and Hamilton St When: 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM Sunday 23 August, Sunday 30 August and Saturday 5 September. All are welcomed and will be assessed and awarded the accreditation appropriate to your ability and games you desire to umpire - anything from juniors (Little League to Senior League) to adults (social grades to the State Leagues). Even if you have never umpired before, or are a mum or and dad moving with your child from teeball umpiring, you are encouraged to get involved. This is also a great opportunity for veteran players or umpires who have been around baseball for a while to brush up on their skills and learn more. Age and fitness are no obstacles – individually tailored training and assistance will be provided. There are very attractive opportunities for umpires to participate in several national tournaments each year (safety restrictions permitting) at all levels if that is something they desire. Any queries please don’t hesitate to email Chris Rapley – [email protected] or m 0418 912 206. Baseball WA is proud to call for nominations for the 2020 Volunteer of the Year Award.

As a reminder, 2020/21 registration for the first of the Baseball WA Youth Girls programs is open through 25 September.
Pony Girls Futures The Pony Girls Futures (formerly known as Youth Girls Development Program) is an ideal way for female players to grow and develop their skills in an all-girl environment. It is held annually in Term 4. Players will train once per week and play on Sunday afternoons, however during the first two weeks both the midweek and weekend sessions will be "Spring Training" for all teams combined at the Baseball Park. This will see players training as one group under the guidance of the expert coaches. Game scores are not kept, allowing coaches to put players in positions to gain valuable experience that girls often miss out on if only playing Saturday juniors. This includes pitching, catching and key infield positions. It also also ideal for girls currently playing or graduating from tee-ball to gain valuable skills development to prepare for Little League and the Pony Girls League. The program is for female athletes aged 10 through 14 years old and will take place across October & November. Program cost: $80 includes team cap and uniform top hire. Registration is now open HERE. Please note that registrations have been much stronger than previous seasons and there are limited spaces left, so get in quick! Pony Girls League The Pony Girls League will once again offer all females of League Age 13 to 16 the opportunity to play in a "league of their own." Registrations for this program will commence in late July. All players will be able to select from a menu of available clubs who have advised BWA they are interested in fielding a girls team. The purpose of the League is to provide teenage girls with a competitive game environment to compete, participate and develop. The BWA registration cost will be $80 plus each club will have an additional cost, which is reflected in the drop down menu when you select your club. The BWA registration fee component shall provide you with a numbered player tee shirt and WA Women's player cap, both to be worn on game days. Games will be played each Sunday afternoon and some midweek times - your club will advise you of training day information. Where clubs do not have sufficient players to field teams in their own right, BWA will group clubs together to create joint teams. Training for the 2020-21 season will commence in early December. At the completion of the League, and subject to COVID-19 restrictions, an All-Star team is selected to play in the Pony Girls Baseball World Series in July - more information on this exciting opportunity is available HERE. |
